When some things happen, they happen in a circle

First thing: I lost the ring. Or rather, it lost itself, for good. I had taken the garnet eternity ring off my finger to wash my hands, grabbed some paper towels, and wiped the counter down and threw them out. Guess what was also swept up?
Yep.
However, I am not saddened by this. Because I found something better, again on Ebay, again incredibly affordable, this time only with natural garnets. The feeling I got when I saw the photos was even stronger than seeing the first one. My brain screamed, must have, please, this one, this one, this one -- no white crystal anything involved, just solid pure blood red garnet stones set in shiny gold all around.
I know, I know, perhaps frivilous, perhaps strange... yes, strange. The universe turns you around and around and points you one way, only to spin you and turn you around another way. And it's just a damn ring, you'd say. Frodo said that too.
Do I feel bad for being so joyful about one thing, so sure, only to lose it and suddenly find something basically the same? Of course not. I had something for a short while that made me realize that I needed something more.
Here is my something more.
I think we'll get along fine.

And so

Adam is currently driving to Florida; he will most likely be home the day before our anniversary. I think part of me has become too used to seeing him come and go so often for days at a time. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, of course. But absence can also breed routine. However, we can work with this, as we have since he started working this job. Love, true love, is good like that.

Things that please me: I will soon be getting a pure garnet and gold ring that's calling to me even now across distances. My best friend has found a new job. My housemates are doing well and amuse me every day. My kitten is healthy and bright. I'll be getting paid on Monday. I'm working hard on Chapter 21. I got to see my sister two nights in a row and I will probably see her again very soon (Lena).

However... I'm generally stressed enough that last night Adam expressed his worry that I've been relapsing. I haven't. I've been eating just fine, except that my appetite has shrunk. I'm not as hungry. Summer is coming; it happens.

Now I am watching yet more old episodes of Stargate SG-1 with Danny; and I will go to bed soon. I talked to my mom on the phone today; everything is great up in New York.
I still miss New York.
